Cushiony Biscuits
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
18 cookies
- Serves:
- 18
ingredients
- 2 3⁄4 cups self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 -3 teaspoon ginger
- 1⁄2 cup margarine (never butter, or so the Book says)
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 1 large egg, beaten
directions
- Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Heat the margarine and syrup together until the margarine has all melted. Add the egg to the margarine and syrup and stir until well-mixed.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir carefully. The mixture should be dry enough that it doesn't stick to your hands but wet enough that it all sticks together properly.
- Grease two baking sheets. Pinch off a teaspoon of dough and roll into a ball. Place 9 balls on each sheet - they spread lots when they cook, so don't overcrowd them. Poke your thumb in the middle of each biscuit to make a dent.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes or until they're quite brown. They should be golden brown, crispy around the edges but soft (cushiony) in the middle!

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
